Canadian photographers have set the new GWR world record for the deepest underwater model photography. This photo was taken at a depth of 50 meters (163.38 feet) on a water dog deck in Vocalaton, Florida, United States, United States. The Hydro Atlantic Site was in the printing section and was chosen to produce a special edition. With this courageous effort, Steven Haining, a photographer who had previously destroyed the record twice, won his crown. On June 2021 and September 2023, Steven HINING scored 21 feet and 30 meters, respectively. However, in December 2023, Canada's Kim Bong and Pia Italon broke Haining's record in a 131-footer in the Bahamas. Later, Steven Haining and his crew went underwater to recover their crown. The remaining crew of Ciara Antowski and Steven Haining received rigorous training to ensure safety and accuracy. Anthouski, wearing a white dress and black and white boots, models without an oxygen tank, making photography even more difficult.

The shootout was initially scheduled to run for 20 minutes, but was reduced to 15 minutes due to the risk to high-pressure medications. In addition, the team had to deal with issues such as interference between the ship's rust, the sharks, and the fishermen, confirming that it was safe while Antusky was drowning. On Instagram, Steven Haining explained how he and his team met two sharks while he and his team were scouting. "We scared the sharks and found a safe place in the broken gunship," Steven said.
